The Official Blitz Ball [4 balls $12] is the ideal product for backyard baseball players to live that dream. Kids love it, your opponent will fear it!

Blitz Ball is a high performance, lightweight, plastic baseball with a flat-edged surface design that allows the pitcher to throw blazing fastballs, jaw-dropping curveballs, and zigzagging knuckleballs that would make any big-league pitcher jealous. This revolutionary ball is designed to reduce wind resistance for unbelievable speed and accuracy while maximizing ball spin for tremendous curving action.

Mom says: Hey, it’s a ball, you can’t really go wrong with this one.  Older kids will like to try the crazy throws and little ones just want to carry it around because it’s easy to grip.  Made of a nice light plastic, the kids were able to practice pitching and no one got hurt by getting hit with the ball.  Nice.

Son says: The Blitz Ball is the fastest ball I have ever thrown and with a little practice I even got it to do a crazy curve ball.
